2.16 Visible speech mapping settings

Visible Speech Mapping with individual settings can be added to a test protocol the same way as other REM
tests (see section 2.6.2)
1) Enter the REM440 setup (Menu/Setup/REM440 setup) and add Visible Speech Mapping to the test
protocol.
2) Ensure that Visible Speech Mapping is marked in the lef t-hand side of the screen. The name of the
test will then appear in the Name of selected test section.
Note the option to write a new name f or the test in this section (e.g., "Visible Speech Mapping 65 dB")
3) Stimulus selection
Input Level: Set the input level using the slider.

Preconditioning: This is relevant when using broadband signals such as ISTS. Select a time

using the slider.
Stimulus type: Select a stimulus using the dropdown list. Note that Live Voice is also an option.

However, this is not a calibrated test signal and should theref ore only be used f or counselling
purposes.
Smoothing Index: You have the option to smooth the measured curve using the slider. The

higher the index number selected the more smoothing is applied.
Continuous: This check box allows you to make the measurement ongoing rather than a single

sweep. This may, however, also be done in the f ront screen using the continuous button:
When continuous is ticked, the stimulus and recording will continue until you press the STOP
button. This can be practical f or example when using Live Voice.
 Start Frequency and Stop Frequency: Select the pref erred f requencies using the sliders. These
may f or example be set so that they correspond with the hearing aid gain handles (e.g., if the
hearing aid goes up to 8000 Hz there is no reason to measure beyond this f requency).
 Sweep delays: This is relevant if Continuous measurement is selected f or Pure Tone or Warble
Tone. In this case sweep delays (in milliseconds) may be entered between the individual
sweeps.
